Onitis seems to be quite wanting in America: all the specimens, in this part of the world, that have been placed in that class, belong partly to the Phanæus, and partly to the Eurysternus Dalm. a remarkable species of the genus Ateuchus. The Ateuchi are not less numerous in South America than in Africa; and here is found what may be looked upon as the intermediate link between Copris and Onitis.
As usual in bone-beds, the teeth and bones are, for the most part, fragmentary and rolled. Orthis elegantula, Dalm. Var. Orbicularis, Sowerby. Rhynchonella navicula, Sowerby.
